BREWING COFFEE
Cleaning the coffeemaker before rst use
Follow the steps below under “Adding Water and Ground Coffee” and “Brewing Coffee
Now”, but do not add coffee grounds.
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use coffee ground for use with automatic drip coffeemakers. The
amounts shown below are suggested amounts.
One cup = 148ml (5 ounces) of brewed coffee
Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1) Open brew basket lid, turn showerhead to the back and lift out the removable lter
insert.If using paper lters, it is important that the sides of the lter t ush against
the sides of the lter insert. If lter collapse occurs, for best results, dampen the lter
before placing it in the brew basket and adding ground coffee.
2) Place the permanent lter or a 4 cup basket-style paper lter.
3) Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the lter. Gently shake the lter insert to
level the ground coffee.

contents to cool before handling.

Your Coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the
brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and
mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has
been pumped out of the machine, the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table
gives a suggested cleaning schedule.
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter. Coffee may then turn this stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1) Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts tap water and vinegar and let the
solution stand in the decanter for approximately 20 minutes.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Suggested Cleaning Interval
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water Every 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water Every 40 Brew Cycles
Your Coffeemaker may be cleaned using vinegar.
2) Discard the solution and wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers that may scratch the decanter; scratches may
cause the decanter to break.
